Hii,
I was wondering whether there is any correlation between the energy eigenvalues of a single atom (say He) with the electronic band structure of a collection of He atoms.
for example, for He atoms the lowest energy would be the ground state, with 2 electrons. So will the lowest band for a collection of He atoms be centered about the ground state of the He atom? Do the other bands in the electronic band structure of He, follow a similar pattern, in which they are situation about certain eigenvalues of the He atom?
